DWELLINGS,.

In the line of dwellings, a single
local architect has over 80 names on
his books OF persons who intend to
build dwelling houses during the
year 70 cost from $4,000 to $4,000
each. Nearly all are preparing plans,
and will decide within the next few
weeks az to what they want. 1t Is
safe to make %he prediction that the
number OF new dwellings OF 1888
will be double that Of 1887, and the
coming year will be especially mo-
tlceable for tho number vi handsome
residences erected.
Cyrus Bradley will invest about
S50, 900 In \ goou class Of dwellings
for thoS0 who want something bet
tor than the ordinary cottage.
Baldwin & Sons contemplate the
erection OH Howard street Of IA hand
some brick tenement building to be
rented in fats.
A. g. Edwards will huild fine
two.st0ry aud basement brick Hat on
Riverside avenue near Bernard
street, to cost $4,000.
g. q. Stratton will build neat
dwelling In Brownies addition, to
cost ABOUT SouUV.
j. s. Kahlo Will build $4,000 resi-.
dence In convenient location.
Many others Will build whose
names could not be learned, Or who
were not ready to make statements.
From all Information that can be-
gathered there will be fully $500, 900
expended In dwellings alone during
1888. This sum Will certainly be
augmented by at least 81 100000
expended for business and mlscella.

and the Cowlitz prairie.

Riverside and Main streets, and
1t has been the intention for some
time to build upon tho same as soon
as possible. Such has been the
growth of this worthy institution
during the past year that the direc-
tors feel able to carry out their plans
soon, and handsome three-stOry
brick building will probably he put
up during the summer, costing not
less than $50, 900.
The Spokane Mil Company intend
to bridge the river NJ the north
end Of their property and cover the
email island opposite with storage
whnrvee, besides making many 9th.
er improvements.
A number OF other manufact e
establishments intend to extend
their capacity at considerable ex.
pense, and thousands Of dollars will
be added to the total expenditure OF
1883 by them.
Tho chur;hes, too, are not to be
behind In the onward march OF i'm.
provement. The Roman Catholic
church Is already too small for It's
rapidly growing membership, and
with their known enterprise 10 Is
possible costly edifice will be COM
menced before the year Is over.
The Baptists intend to build dur
Ing the year, although the size and
cost OF the new building has not yet
been determined.
The Episcopalians will also build
handsome edifice on the south side
of the river, and chapel on the
north side.
The congregation Of .Lutherans
will build sometime during the
year, and the Seventh Day Advent
lists will probably do something in
the same line soon.
The Unitarian congregation have
a fne location on Sprague street, and
will build neat church In the spring
which will cost fully $4,000, and be
an ornament TO the city.
The, Jesuit Fathers will also erect
young ladies' seminary in the
spring, In the neighborhood of Con.
xaga college. It will be of brick,
large and Substantial.

A Complete Establishment

Where houses dealing exclusively
in one line Of goods are established in
Spokane Falls they will always BE-
found in the extent and quality OF
stock equal to any houses handling
the same line on the coast. This 10

ed on favorably by strangers. In
looking over the city this feature IL
especially to the credit of the place
and those whe have the nerve to make
such investments. Among the many
houses of this character to be found
there is none to surpass, in the
same line, the tobacco store Of A. w.
Seigel, who is proprietor OF what is
known as the Arlington cigar stand.
1t is located on Howord street, in the
north end Of the Arlington hotel. The
stock is equal to any that can be found
in the upper country, Portland not

fenced dealer in tobaccos, and his
stock of chewing and smoking tobac-
cos, cigars, smokers articles, etc, are
of the very best and embrace every

Post street, between Riverside av-
enue and Main street. 1t will be of
modern architecture and cost In tho
pelghborhood Of SS0,000.
Mr.. Browne also contemp)ates en-
larging his present block on the
northwest corner of Riverside av.

OF two stories, at an expense of
$l2, 600 or more.
w. France will erect a three-story
brick block on the north side. S0x00

be the hrst business brick erected
on that side OF the river.
The above list OF business build.
ings Is likely to be supplemented by
others before the year 10 far Rd.
vanced. An eastern capitalist who
Visited here last fall, and intends to
make his home In Spokane Falls In
the spring, stated on his departure q
short time since, that he intended to
do some building this year that
would Hstonish the natives. AS he
has the wealth to do Ii, and expects
to- bring out several wealthy friends
with him, the REVIEW may he ablo
to record some interesting facts in
this line soon. The list already pub
lished, however, is sufficiently large
to boast OF, and will hardly be
matched by any city In Oregon or
Washington during 1883.
MIscELLkNEous IMPROVEMENTS.
Besides the great amount OF build
Ing to be done In the way OF business
structures, there Is likely TO be con.
siderable sum expended In build ings
OF a miscellaneous nature. The Spo.
kane Lumber & Manufacturing com.
pany will erect new planning mill
40x60 feet, put in new machinery.
and make other improvements at an
expense OF S25. 900 or more. Several
other manufacturing establishments
contemplate improvements on a
more or less extensive scale. An
eastern capitalist who visited the
city during the fall returned to his
home with the expressed intention
OF bringing out machinery for a first
class paper mill this year. 1t Ia pos
StbIe that q stock company will be
Incorporated and q large mill erected
before the year is over.
The growth Of the school popula-
tIon OF the city and the inadequate
facilities for their care render II ab-
sOlutrly necessary that one or more
school buildings Of comnodious size
should he built, one on the north side
and another ia the eastern portion OF
the city.

spring, one on the southwest corner

northwest corner OF NJ i'll and Spragpe
streets, 60xS0 feet In size. The cost
of these two blocks will be In the
neighborhood of S125, 900.
DR.. Keller, who owns the ground
